Excellent question! If hate is so destructive – why could it evolve in evolution? This morning there was an article in Spiegel online about exactly that question: http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/psychologie-woher-der-hass-kommt-kolumne-a-1122055.html (unfortunately in german). In a nutshell: The author thinks that hating and looking down on others is the easiest way of getting an instant reward = feeling better, stronger, superior even for people who don’t have much. For me the second reason is that hate helped societies to effectively fight other societies. If you manage to make your people hate your neighbours the chances are higher that they will be willing to fight them recklessly. So I think that in the past societies with a certain ability to hate hat an evolutionary advantage over hateless societies and thus these disappeared. I am not sure if today hate has any advantage for individuals or societies.
